I have done this as a trial to see how far in advance I can do this and they taste great for two weeks. I didn't push it any longer as I wouldn't want to anything sitting around longer than a week, but since I was doing a home trial I went another week. I have an order for a dozen cookies due friday. Baked thursday, decorated friday, and bagged saturday. I have also read that once they are sealed in a bag they last for longer than two weeks, not sure how long I read. Hope this helps you.
I have baked NFSC decorated them with Antonia74 RI and them pop them in the freezer up to 5 weeks in advance. You will have no problem with just doing them a few days in advance. I leave my cookies setting out for 2-3 days and they stay just as soft. If you ever need to freeze ahead of time just bake,decorate and let them dry for a day or two then layer them between wax paper in a tupperware container. To thaw set on counter leave in the container the condensation will go to the wax paper and the cookies will come out just fine!
HTH,

Thanks shiney
Do you keep them in a sealed container between the baked time and delivered time?
I actually keep mine in airtight container almost all the time except when I'm decorating that cookie. After I flood, I leave them out for maybe an hour at the most, then back into the container they go. I have lots of containers! This may be why I don't get a shiney finish, huh?
